If you use the web interface (lloking at the HTML) it shows you the 
file names, and you can click on them. ri doesn't support this.

When generating ri output, rdoc merges descriptions. Whren generating 
html, it work, but only if you supply all the sources of the 
information at the same time (ie go  rdoc file1.rb file2.rb)
